This book was released on 2007-07-03 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ongoing operations and emerging mission requirements place a heavy burden on Army resources, resulting in capability gaps that the Army is unable to fill by itself. One solution is to build the appropriate capabilities in allies and partner armies through focused security cooperation. To do this, Army planners need a more comprehensive understanding of the capability gaps and a process for matching those gaps with candidate partner armies.

Book excerpt: This monograph outlines an approach to building the capabilities and capacity of partner armies for coalition operations through the effective use of Army security cooperation. It is important to clarify two key terms in this study, specifically, the difference between capability and capacity. Simply put, "capability" is the ability to perform a function, and "capacity" is the extent of a capability present. Ongoing operations and emerging missions create competing demands for the Army's capabilities, resulting in requirement gaps that the Army is unable to fill by itself. Although there are other ways to fill capability gaps (e.g., with other Services, contractors, or increased Army end-strength), national and Department of Defense (DoD) strategic guidance emphasizes the need to leverage the capabilities of allies and partners to fill these gaps. Thus, this monograph is concerned with how the Army should focus its security cooperation activities to build the most appropriate capabilities in partner armies. As a supporting entity, it must use its limited security cooperation resources in a way that effectively builds partner army capabilities that support Joint requirements. To do this, the Army cannot work in isolation. Partnering with DoD and other U.S. government agencies provides the solution and also enables the development of partner capacity. This study is part of a larger RAND Arroyo Center effort to assist the U.S. Army in building partner capabilities through enhanced and focused security cooperation. It argues that U.S. Army planners need a comprehensive understanding of the types of capability gaps that partner armies might fill and provides a process for matching them with potential partner capabilities. The study also provides insights into planning associated with Army security cooperation activities and discusses the importance of developing metrics that would allow the Army to assess its security cooperation investment over time.
Book Synopsis A Capabilities-based Strategy for Army Security Cooperation by : Jennifer D. P. Moroney
Download or read book A Capabilities-based Strategy for Army Security Cooperation written by Jennifer D. P. Moroney and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study outlines a planning framework for cultivating multinational force compatibility (MFC) with armies that are not traditional allies. Such coalition partners are increasingly important to the Army in the post-9/11 security environment. Multilateral military operations are often now conducted by coalitions of the willing rather than by alliances, and many of these ad hoc coalitions include key contingents that have no history of sustained peacetime cooperation with the U.S. Army. The Army has only very limited resources available to enhance compatibility with non-allied partner armies, especially compared to the resources devoted to compatibility with traditional allies such as the United Kingdom. The challenge of enhancing compatibility and building partnership capacity with non-core partner armies therefore requires an innovative approach to planning.

Book excerpt: [This] book ... provides a detailed analysis of what we need to do to effectively build and sustain enduring partnerships, examines our current state, and provides a roadmap with specific, actionable recommendations to strengthen our processes and employ a holistic joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational approach to partnerships. Two of the insights that I think we often miss are that our partners have a say in the process and that we need to manage the process as an integrated portfolio and make investment/reinvestment decisions based upon capability objectives that we and our partners agree upon. The U.S. military simply cannot engage alone. Partnership must be planned and executed in order to set meaningful objectives as well as to synchronize available resources to achieve them.
Book Synopsis Toward Strategy for Building Partner Capacity by : Kevin L. Berkompas
Download or read book Toward Strategy for Building Partner Capacity written by Kevin L. Berkompas and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US military operations following 11 September 2001 have demonstrated that US military capacity alone is not enough to meet US security objectives. As a result, the US has renewed its commitment to the endeavors of Security Cooperation (SC) and Building Partner Capacity (BPC). Academic and military research, as well as official strategic guidance and military doctrine have provided priorities and resources for SC and BPC. The Combined Ownership-Operations Program (CO-OP) model is a BPC strategy that expands the potential ends, ways, and means of SC. If resourced and utilized, CO-OP structures can build long-term, transparent, self-sustaining capabilities and capacity among foreign partners that are vectored to support US security, priorities, and values. CO-OP efforts can shape the international environment in favor of the US while they can bridge critical capability shortfalls.
Book Synopsis Improving the Process of Relationship Building with Our Coalition Partners by :
Download or read book Improving the Process of Relationship Building with Our Coalition Partners written by and published by . This book was released on 2004* with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of relationship building called engagements by military practitioners is defined by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) as "those interactions with foreign defense establishments that include any and all that (1) build defense relationships to promote specific US security interests, (2) develop allied and friendly military capabilities for self-defense and coalition operations, and (3) provide US forces with peacetime and contingency access and enroute structure." The following are two examples of the indicators that suggest our engagement process with Middle Eastern coalition partners needs improvement. Within United States Central Command's (USCENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR) there is no systematic or standardized program of interaction and information flow between the different players: the State Department, DOD, and the engagement agencies of USCENTCOM. Additionally, and specific to United States Central Command Air Forces (USCENTAF), action officers report a need to improve the transfer of information and agreements between the command staff and the action officers responsible for implementation/action.

Book Synopsis Building Partner Capacity at Best Value by : Sean F. Mulcahey
Download or read book Building Partner Capacity at Best Value written by Sean F. Mulcahey and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has a new defense strategy. The global strategic environment is changing and defense resources are declining. This has caused the U.S. military to increase emphasis on building partner capacity as a way to achieve strategic security objectives with fewer resources and a smaller force. The new strategy demands that the Army seek strategy alternatives that achieve best value for the resources available. The Army must preserve the capability to conduct decisive operations to win the nations wars. At the same time it must conduct missions to build partner capacity to shape the environment to prevent future conflict. Executing both missions is a requirement of the defense strategy and a dilemma for the Army. The Army must develop solutions that achieve the most toward these two requirements for the resources available. This paper evaluates emerging Army initiatives for building partner capacity in terms of best value. Employing the reserve component as the primary source for BPC missions while focusing active component forces on decisive operations is a solution that allows the Army to effectively meet both the readiness and engagement requirements of the new defense strategy at best value while mitigating strategic risk.

Book Synopsis Short of General War by : Harry Richard Yarger
Download or read book Short of General War written by Harry Richard Yarger and published by Department of the Army. This book was released on 2010 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the United States is involved in two ongoing wars, faces a significant international terrorist threat, and is witnessing an escalation of international resistance to its leadership of the global world order. Looking out to 2025, many see the potential for a prolonged period of instability as a result of competing economic models, demographics, the rise of new international actors and the resurgence old ones, climate change, and the scarcity of resources. The range of stability challenges will stretch the capabilities of any military force structure and require innovative thinking on the part of policymakers and military professionals alike on the appropriate development and use of the military element of power. In this anthology, 16 students of the U.S. Army War College Class of 2008 offer their perspectives on the use of military power across the spectrum of conflict in the 21st century, short of or following general war, and provide insights into the necessary force structure, policy, strategy, and doctrinal approaches for future success. Beyond a focus on operations short of general war, these writings share in common a worthwhile idea or set of ideas that can materially contribute to how the U.S. military can best conduct full spectrum operations. Collectively, these essays reveal the innovative thinking and diversity and depth of thought of the U.S. and foreign military and civilian agency personnel that comprise each student body at the U.S. Army War College as they prepare themselves to become senior leaders and fulfill their roles in their militaries or agencies. This resource offers 16 students of the U.S. Army War College Class of 2008 perspectives and forecasts for the use of military power through year 2025. Scholars and policymakers, alike, may find these essays beneficial for long-term strategy planning.
